Validate your course links on Canvas
Posted: January 22, 2020 12:00:00 AM CST
As an instructor, you can verify all external links throughout your course to ensure they are valid.
You can check these links using the course link validator, which searches through course content and returns invalid or unresponsive external links in both published and unpublished content.
However, please note that some links flagged as unresponsive are inaccessible by Canvas servers and will still work for students.
The link validator also includes deleted links. Deleted links are links that are still in the course, but their linked content has been deleted (such as a course file or page).
